Long Beach restaurant to hold fundraiser for police relay team

The Long Beach Police Department's Baker to Vegas relay team will receive half the proceeds from food and beverage sales from 5-10 p.m. today at the Veggie Grill, located at the Marketplace shopping center, 6451 Pacific Coast Highway.

In 2012 the Long Beach police team finished third in its category and 15th overall in the 120-mile race from Baker to Las Vegas. Last year more than 5,000 police and military were part of the event. This year's race begins April 13.
